1. (Slide 1) Introduction
Facilitator welcomes the learner to the University. The facilitator introduces the topic of plagiarism and explains why the University is interested in being clear about expectations.
Teacher introduction:
“Hello, My name is.” Facilitator speaks briefly about their back ground as librarian. “Part of my job as HU librarian is to provide support for research, proper citation and plagiarism prevention. The university requires plagiarism awareness training for entry level students at both the undergraduate and graduate level. With internet and technology rapidly changing, Harrisburg University seeks to familiarize students with the proper way to reference writing and media in essays, blogs, podcasts, wikis and other mediums. A learning module outlining the definition and consequences of plagiarism was developed for student understanding of the ethical implications in order to reduce academic instances of plagiarism.”
Mission:
“Our mission today is to inspire students to take more care with citing sources when borrowing ideas inspired from other authors.
(Slide 2) Objectives:
“We will present a short e-learning presentation created by a graduate student here at HU. After the presentation, we will break up in small groups to search for examples of plagiarism on the internet, review the HU plagiarism rules and practice paraphrasing for fifteen minutes. We will get back together as a whole class and see what you remembered from the presentation while we compare your results from your small groups. Each learner will sign two copies of the Plagiarism Pledge. The Pledge states that you understand the rules and consequences of plagiarism at HU. HU takes plagiarism very seriously and maintains a copy of your pledge on file for ten years".
Learner introductions:
“Before we get started, let’s learn a little more about you. Let’s have you introduce yourselves, state your name, where you are from and any declared major.
(Slide 3) Pre-test or game (icebreaker):Mad Libs Game (Facilitator Printable A)
“As a warm-up, we are going to start with something fun, has anyone here ever heard of Mad Libs? The object of the game is to ask for random words that fit in the parts of speech. After we take the words down, we incorporate them into a story” The facilitator should try to encourage as many different learners to participate as possible. First take hands and then call on the shy ones so that they are encouraged to participate. The facilitator will write the words in the blanks as she randomly selects the student answers. (Slide 4)Read Story to audience by inserting the words that you gathered from the last slide. (Slide 5) “That was fun. Now we are going to start our e-learning module, the plagiarism pledge. Does anyone have any questions before we get started?”

3. (Slide 25)e-learning Debrief & Learning Activity (30 min total) “What were your impressions of the e-learning module? Did anyone learn anything new from the presentation? What did you find the most interesting? Are there any questions? Now I will pass around the small group activities and pledge handouts.” Assign three separate areas for groups to form. “Go ahead and move to your group and I will give you further instructions.” Assist students to move to their small groups.
A - Learner Packets will be distributed and will include the following: 1. Handouts stating the rules and consequences of plagiarizing at Harrisburg University. 2. Handouts for the small group activities. 3. The Plagiarism Pledge (2 copies, one to be signed and returned to the facilitator).
B - (Slide 26)Small group activity: (15 min total) The facilitator will walk around with a checklist (at the end of the facilitator guide) to see that the groups understand the different objectives. Learners will share findings in front of the class as other groups follow along with their handouts. The facilitator asks a couple of questions and makes positive comments.
Group 1:Learners will do some paraphrasing from memorization exercises. “Group one will work together on paraphrasing. One person will read aloud the passage while the others read along. The paper will be folded in half while you write what you remembered you heard. Compare your results. Select two representatives to share with the class. One will read the passage to the class and the other will read their version of what they thought they heard.”
Group 2:Usingthe internet, learners will find examples of campus plagiarism and use the definitions handout to identify plagiarism infractions. “Group 2 will use the internet to find examples of campus plagiarism and use the definitions handout to identify plagiarism infractions. Each student in the group should find one example. Students should share their stories with the group. The group votes on the best example to share with the class.”
Group 3:Using the internet, learners will search for high profile plagiarism examples (besides the ones on the e-learning module) and report to class their findings. “Group 3 will use the internet to search for high profile plagiarism examples (besides the e-learning module examples) and report to class their findings. Each student in the group should find one or two examples. Students should share their stories with the group. The group votes on the best example to share with the class.”
Remind class about 5 minutes before the end of this activity to make sure that everyone gets a chance to share. About 2 minutes before the end of this activity, remind the groups to vote on a representative. Ok did all of the groups pick a representative? Next, we are going to play “The Matching Game” Are there any questions before we get started?
B - Whole group activity: (15 min) (Slide 27)The facilitator will follow the prompts by forwarding slides manually at this point.
“Welcome to the matching game! I will call up the representatives from each of the groups as we move through the slides” 1. Learners will review the formative evaluations from the module with a matching game. 2. Slide prompts will call learners up to share in between matching game questions.
(Slide 28) “First question: Paraphrasing is an essential technique because it allows you to put source material: A. In your own words, B. In quotations, or C. Without Citation.” Pick someone who looks confused to answer the question. Click on the box of the student’s answer. It has a hot spot to the corresponding slide.
(Slide 29) “That’s right, paraphrasing is an essential technique because it allows you to put source material: A. In your own words, great job!” Click on the click sign to skip the next slide.
Or, depending on answer. . .
(Slide 30) “Oops, In your own words, paraphrasing means re-phrasing in your own words.”
(Slide 31) Call representatives of Group one: May I have the two representatives of group one. “Group one, what was your assignment?” Two people should show up. “Ok, who is going to read the passage? Go ahead” First student reads passage from Handout 3. Facilitator looks to the other person and smiles “Ok, so what did you get out of all of that?” Second student reads their passage. “Very Good! Now, would you cite that? It is now in your own words?” Student should answer yes. “Where would you cite that, within the text or on the Works Cited page?” Answer is both.
(Slide 32) “All right now, back to the matching game”
(Slide 33) “Which of the following is not considered plagiarism?” Click on the box of the student’s answer. It has a hot spot to the corresponding slide.
(Slide 34) “You are right! Citing an idea was the best choice for what is not considered plagiarism.” Click on the Click button to skip the next slide.
Or, depending on answer. . .
(Slide 35) “Sorry, citing an idea would be a better answer for what is not considered plagiarism.”
(Slide 36) “All right, may I have the representatives from group 2 come up? What did you do your assignment on? And what did you come up with? Great job!”
(Slide 37) “All right now back to the Matching game!”
(Slide 38) “Which one of these is plagiarism? Can anyone guess?” Pick someone who hasn’t gone yet. Click on the box of the student’s answer. It has a hot spot to the corresponding slide.
(Slide 39) “A student accidently forgets to cite, that is right!” Click on the “click” button to skip the next slide.
Or, depending on answer. . .
(Slide 40) “Sorry, the best example is when a student accidently forgets to cite. Negligence is not seen as an excuse.”

4. Take the Plagiarism Pledge (8 min. total)
(Slide 42) “Does anyone have any questions? Now, we are going to wrap it up and sign the pledge.”
(Slide 43)Slides with music will automatically advance for the next 2:41. Press mute if you do not wish for the music to play. “In conclusion to our plagiarism training, we ask our students to take the pledge. There are two pledge contracts. Please sign both copies. I am going to come around, sign you off, and collect each copy, one at a time.”
· Learners are introduced to the pledge. · The pledge contract with the rules and consequences will be signed by the learner. · Learners sign the pledge.
